Tis the season for depression. That is the reality for too many. You are not alone.
I've seen friends say they don't feel like Christmas at all, know of some that are having family struggles (don't we all), custody battles - where will the kids spend Christmas, recent separations & stress over holiday confrontations or alienation... a couple of girlfriend lost their moms this year and are struggling with the first Christmas without - makes me glad mine is still here & cooking all the veggies - :). At the same time I see & feel their sadness - one friend can't even speak to me about it - we both TEAR up instantly.. she has a huge family & will survive the holiday I'm confident. How about those with a small or no family.. do you think Christmas is a happy time for all, hardly.
Then there is the stress of Christmas spending, I'm seeing that almost everywhere - this thing about giving people money - what's Christmas going to come to? A banking holiday? Not sure what to get someone for fear they won't like it, having too many you feel you should buy for, I read the chance of a heart attack of the holidays increaser quite a bit- is it the food? The excess booze? The stress? Shovelling snow is often a factory btw.. take care.
This year has been incredibly stressful, I try to pretend it's not- yet I'm having difficulty even leaving my home (my trust in humans is not what it was) & throw in Trump to the list- I'm positive that orange ape is responsible for an increase in Christmas depression around the globe.
When I look at the effect the toll of stress has had on my own physical body just since the summer - my one side has completely covered in psoriasis that wakes me from pain at night & the scabs on my back and down my right leg to the bottom of my feet - I'm concerned it's got out of control... So, NO - the last thing I'm going to 'let' stress me is Christmas. Tis the season - it can be very overwhelming for adults & children & pets - I don't know about you but I'd like to encourage all of you who are feeling blue, sad, depressed - - embrace it & say FUCK IT! It's just a holiday, just another day - if you're focusing on Jesus- awesome- as that is the reason for the season.. Jesus knows so don't sweat it- if you can pour yourself a cup of medicated tea or a glass of nice wine.. roll a joint & climb in a warm tub like this sweet little ginger & slide in and RELAX ('Im about to do this now) it will be a great start to melting holiday stress... warm jimmies, movie on Netflix , medicate popcorn sprinkled with cinnamon... GIVE yourself a BREAK & Fuck it.
